It’s week 4 of Fun Month, and we are joined by lead pastor of Embassy City Church in Irving, TX, Pastor Tim Ross. In this message, Pastor Tim shows us that although Jesus is the only One who brings us from death to life, each of us also has a part to play in helping others find freedom and healing. If this message has been encouraging for you, make sure to let us know & share it with a friend!

time thank you god

seated
hi
i love you
it’s so good to see you i’m so grateful
to be here with you all and
um grateful to join you for fun month uh
i
i am literally
the most relaxed person in the world
right now i’ve been on
sabbatical this entire month
enjoying my family traveling and
it’s been great i’m i’m so rested i’m so
refreshed
which means i’m so ready
i’m so ready to preach
so this is fun month right
so so i want to calibrate your thinking
for for for this day this is this is
going to be one of them churchy days
okay this is
think of your best churchy day growing
up
i feel like this has that energy to it
like that good churchy energy and then
grayson
churched us
and that was all the confirmation i
needed so if i wind up hooping
or moaning or tuning up or any of that
stuff
just go with me
all right
now if you don’t know what any of that
means just fake it
and then next week you’ll be back to
normal
um
if you have your bibles i want you to go
to
the gospel according to saint john
chapter number 11.
the gospel according to saint john
chapter number 11. there you will find
my assignment
for today
i’m starting from the 34th verse
which
means that i’m leaving a lot out
in terms of reading i will actually go
back to give you context to
uh verse 1 through 33 so that
34 makes
sense okay but i want to read from uh
verse number 34
reading from the new living translation
of the bible
here’s what it says it starts with
jesus’s
words in the form of a question
where have you put them
that’s what he asked him
they told him lord come and see
jesus
wept
the people who were standing nearby said
see how much he loved them
but some said this man healed a blind
man couldn’t he have kept lazarus from
dying
jesus was still angry as he arrived at
the tomb
a cave with the stone rode across
his entrance
roll the stone aside
jesus told them
but martha
the dead man’s sister protested lord
he has been dead for four days
the smell will be terrible
jesus responded didn’t i tell you
that you would see god’s glory if you
believe
so they rode the stone aside then jesus
looked up
to heaven and said father thank you for
hearing me
you always hear me but i said it out
loud for the sake of all these people
standing here
so that they will believe you sent me
then jesus
shouted
lazarus
come out
and the dead man came out
his hands and feet bound in grave
clothes his face wrapped in a napkin
jesus told him unwrap him
and let him go
that was good all by yourself
if you’re taking notes on this message
the title of this message is
he can get me out of here
that’s what i want to talk to some
people about today
in this room he
can get
you
out of here
i want everybody in tc nation to know
that he can get
you
out
of here
bear your heads pray let’s pray over the
word before we get started shall we holy
spirit help us get out of here
amen
in order for this narrative to make
sense i have to take you back to verse
number one
john chapter number 11 starting at the
first verse is outside of jesus’s own
resurrection
the most compelling narrative
and story
leading up to jesus’s own
resurrection
mary martha and lazarus are jesus’s dear
friends
because they are dear friends
when lazarus gets sick
they know where jesus is
and they send a request
that should have sent jesus running
scripture says that
mary and martha
sent a message to
jesus by a messenger
who arrives at
jesus location
on the day
that lazarus
is at his worst
the message is very simple
jesus
your dear
friend lazarus
is sick
not a stranger
not some random guy that just heard
about jesus miracles
not somebody that didn’t want to follow
jesus but then got in trouble and then
all of a sudden is calling on him
this is a dear friend
to the family
and so the message
carries that weight your dear friend
lazarus
not a stranger like blind bartimaeus not
not not the woman at the whale who who
who you just randomly ran across on
purpose not not not somebody that you
don’t know somebody that you have a
relationship with
somebody that you have a connection with
somebody that you’ve broken bed with
somebody that has held you accountable
somebody that has has supported you and
encouraged you on days and weeks when
nobody wanted to be around you that
person
anybody beside me think you have a good
relationship with jesus that if you call
on him that he would he would show up
for you
lord it’s me standing in the need of
prayer someone that’s been been
following you for 12 years somebody
that’s pushed back their plate and
fasted for you somebody that has been
with you on days when they could have
ran from you i have been here with
you i’m the one calling on you
your dear
friend
is sick
and on the day that the messenger
arrives to tell jesus
jesus receives these words
and says okay
i’ll be there
just not now
the disciples said sir
this is your friend
where’s the urgency he’s like well you
know
just so happens that this is a situation
that’s an opportunity for my father to
get glory
and don’t worry about lazarus he’s just
sleep
the disciples not understanding what he
meant by that said well then if he’s
sleep
he’ll be well soon
because you know when you rest your body
that’s when your body has a chance to
recover so if he’s sleeping
then he’ll be well soon and and jesus
goes y’all still don’t know
how long do i have to be with you
you still don’t know what i meant
so scripture says that he says to them
plainly
lazarus is dead
and i’m glad
for your sakes
that i wasn’t there
because now god’s glory
is going to be intensified and magnified
by what i do next
i i want to take my time in this space
right here because it is important for
us to realize that that that there are
requests that are in this room
that are that that are watching this
stream right now that have gone out and
we expect god to move as soon as we ask
not understanding that god has a time
table that is not on your schedule
i hate to break it to some people in
this room but but but god has never been
on your schedule you have always been on
his
the old saints used to say he may not
come when you want him to
but when he does show up
it happens to be
not just on time it’s on his
time
the day that the messenger gave jesus
the message is the day
lazarus died
which means lazarus died waiting
for his miracle
i don’t know if anybody in this room can
relate to lazarus just
laying up in the bed
coughing and
waiting and
y’all sent the message
mary
mary
yes lazarus yeah did y’all tell jesus
did y’all tell jesus about
about what was going on with me yeah we
told him we sent the messenger today
okay okay
martha
mary get martha
martha comes in the room yes lazarus
he can heal me
we’ve been watching him a long time
and i saw what he did with that deaf man
i saw what he did with that blind man
i saw what he did with that dead boy
remember that little girl
and he said
to me
cool me
[Music]
so this sickness is light work for him
i know he’ll be here
he dies
believing
he dies
with faith
he dies
without complaining
he dies
without contesting
he
dies
and mary and martha
on the day that he dies
before they can get the response
from the savior
like good jewish women would they
wrap him up
and put him in a tomb
because in jewish custom
the day you die is the day that you get
buried
there is no embalming of the body there
there there there is a
there is a a
a process by which they they wash the
body and that they they they put
ointment and and and different spices on
the body but then they put that body
away same day
and jesus has been chilling
two more days
while his friend
dies
now there’s some people in this room
that haven’t got an answer in two weeks
you already back at the club
[Applause]
you already went back to your own
lifestyle just cause he hasn’t answered
you in two weeks
jesus says hey y’all
let’s go see lazarus
and they start walking back
to where this man used to live
he doesn’t run he doesn’t jump on a
horse
he casually strolls back
into town the same
town that just a week ago they wanted to
stone him to death
that’s how gangster jesus is
i know y’all trying to kill me but i’m
coming back for my friend
don’t think god won’t come through all
types of turmoil test trials
to come get you out of the situation
that you’re in he doesn’t care how much
hell you got yourself into he doesn’t
care how twisted up and tied up you have
got into your bondage when when god gets
ready to come for you he’ll step across
every generational curse that you’ve
ever been through he’ll step across
alcoholism and molestation he’ll he’ll
step across low self-esteem and
insecurity when jesus gets ready to come
get you he’ll he’ll come get you in the
middle
of your situation he doesn’t need you to
meet him in the church house he’ll show
up at the trap house he’ll he’ll come
get you wherever
you happen
to be he
he literally walks into
a dead situation
and casually walks back into the dead
situation and and mary meets him first
master
and
if you would have been here
my brother wouldn’t have died
and he said um
do you believe that i can
still do
what you requested for me to do i sent
word back
that i was coming did y’all not believe
i was coming
and she said i know i know he’ll be
raised in the last day
i know you’re going to raise him up
again just not now
jesus says to her i
am
if he would have stopped there
all the hell would have collapsed on
itself
if he doesn’t finish this sentence all
of heaven stands up to testify the rocks
would have started crying out had he
stopped that i
am.
he said he said i am
the
resurrection
not a
the
resurrection
and the life he was like this this i i
came for this
and
she still doesn’t get it
she runs back and gets married mary is
in the house
and there’s some local mourners that are
around and i don’t know if you
understand uh the significance of this
but but back in uh
actually not back in those days up until
this day
uh in the middle east there there are
professional mourners
they they they show up
just to express
the grief that you’re having
but sometimes they do it in a more
exaggerated way
and so
mary
runs out of the house because martha
says jesus is here
and the mourners run out with
mary
thinking that she’s going to
the burial site
of lazarus
and when she gets out there
she’s like if you would have been here
my brother wouldn’t have died
and i know jesus at that point is like
here we go again
didn’t didn’t i tell you
that you see the resurrection
if you only believed
and the
mourners the professional mourners
they were exasperating the situation
scripture says that jesus got angry
he wasn’t angry
with the grief
i believe he was angry with the
exaggeration
[Music]
it would be cruel of jesus
to be angry that
people were grieving their loved one
but it’s the drama that was surrounding
the grief
that i believe began to perturb him
it’s a good word look it up
see sometimes you got to move some
people out of your life
that are exasperating situations
that keep you distracted from focusing
on jesus
some people that are around you are not
around you with good intentions they’re
they’re co-signing on a on an expression
that that does not need an exaggeration
he’s angry at the moment
the scripture says that jesus breaks
down and weeps as well
i got five points to this message
because there’s five statements jesus
makes that i believe
are going to literally
transform
our lives
point number one
jesus shows up to the situation and
after seeing all of the drama and the
antics and being questioned by mary and
martha he has but one question to
ask where have you put them
point number one where
have
you put them
now the reason why this question is so
important because i believe every single
one of us needs to answer this question
today where have you put
the thing that you’ve been waiting on
jesus to respond to
where have you put it
is it in the same place
that it was when you made the request
or
have you buried it
thinking that jesus was never going to
address the situation
it’s a question that needs to be asked
where
did
you put it where did you put the promise
he gave you where did he put where did
you put the dream that he gave you where
did you put that prophetic word that he
gave you is it in the same place
that it was when you received it or have
you become so grieved that it hasn’t
happened yet
that you buried it
jesus wanted to know where did you put
him
because i know where he died
and where he is now is not the same
place
lazarus couldn’t have put himself in
that tomb
so i can’t hold him responsible
but the ones that are that were still
alive
i have a question for you
where did your faith stop
[Music]
because if you had the faith to believe
that i was gonna do exactly what i said
he was that i was gonna do
then this man should be in the same bed
that he died in
as unethical as that would be for jewish
custom
if i told you i was coming
somebody should have believed me
where where did you put them where did
you put that promise where did you put
that dream where where did you put that
word that god gave you is it in the same
location or did you bury
it you let somebody talk you out of it
is it in
a tomb
point number two please write this down
they showed him
where he was he said where’d you put
them they said right there
they just pointed to the location he
over there
he said um
i need you to roll away the stone oh i
got to take my time here
jesus
refuses
to step into this situation
and do anything
that they can do
jesus shows up to a dead situation and
he doesn’t come into the situation and
say stand out of the way i’ll take it
from here
he shows up
asking questions
where’d you put them we put them over
there okay
right in there
yeah with that big old stone in front of
it yeah
you roll it away
[Music]
hear me
i’m not showing up this is jesus this is
this is strongly implied he doesn’t say
it but it’s strongly implied i am not
showing up to do anything that you can
do
see when miraculous things happen in
your life it’s because you participated
with god not because he did it all for
you it’s because you participated in the
healing you participated in the
breakthrough the reason why you’re debt
free is not just because god made you
debt free it’s because you finally got
on a budget instead of spending money on
louis batons
the reason why you broke a generational
curse is not just because he snapped the
curse you refused to go back to familiar
places that would make you get back into
the same behavior that you were in
prior to where
so so so you want this miracle to happen
you roll away the stone
i didn’t put it there
i won’t move it
you rolled the stone
away roll the stone aside you do it i’m
not doing that for you
you got to do that for yourself
so can you imagine those people getting
over there
frankie come
on they probably weren’t no frankie’s
back then but
[Music]
okay we got some momentum
[Music]
because see sometimes it’s hard
to let jesus into a space
that you rolled a stone in front of
for jesus to get back into a space that
you’ve buried sometimes there’s some
work that you have to do there there
might be some therapy that you need to
have there there may be some counseling
that you need to get into there may need
to be some accountability that you have
to submit to and
we shouldn’t ever put him in here
it seems like it’s harder work getting
out of this situation
[Applause]
than it was getting into the situation
have you ever got yourself into a
situation overnight but then it took you
11 months to get out of the situ anybody
beside me know what it feels like
to have one relapse in
judgment and then spend two years
[Applause]
okay
[Music]
oh that was work
jesus said something
that blows my mind right here
he
he has another question that he asked
and i’m telling you this
question
by itself makes me want to do lap
around the whole church
point number three please write this
down didn’t i tell you
[Music]
verse number 40 jesus responded did not
tell you that you would see god’s glory
if you only believe didn’t i
tell
you when jesus says that to you
that means he’s about to clown you
when jesus shows up into your situation
and says didn’t i tell you
that i was about to do something that
you could not take credit for that only
god could get glory for didn’t i tell
you that i was going to bless you did
not tell you that i was going to make a
way didn’t i tell you that i was going
to provide for you didn’t i tell you
that i was going to heal you
he said
he said you you
y’all need to understand
that when i say something
i mean
god is not playing with your emotions
and even when a situation is dead
you know what jesus calls it
sleep
i don’t know who that was for right
there
you think the promise is dead
in jesus eyes it’s just sleeping
you think the miracle is over
all he’s saying is it’s just sleep
you can’t wake it up cause on your side
of things it’s dead on my side of things
it’s slumbering
and i know how to wake dead stuff
up
didn’t i tell you
point number four i gotta go point
number four pulling forward
lazarus
come out
now listen
theologians uh
would say that
if jesus did not call lazarus by name
every person
in a 100 mile radius
would have got up
from the dead
had jesus left off lazarus name and just
said come out
everything dead would have woke up
[Applause]
now now let me tell you what makes this
miraculous lazarus has been dead for
four days
somebody say four days
not three not two not one four days uh
uh i went to school uh uh uh to be a
homicide detective i i was gonna i
studied administration of justice in
college and and and i thought that was
what i was gonna do with my life i i
never saw a preaching in in my life at
all
and uh so so i had to study the
decomposition of bodies
i had to look at autopsies i had to
study how uh uh bodies decompose in
different environments hot environments
cold environments when it’s wet bloated
bodies in the lake all that kind of
stuff pretty gross to y’all
dead bodies don’t bother me
they can’t talk back
not a big deal
lazarus died of some sickness
after four days his body would have
already gone through
rigor mortis
the blood would have literally all
congealed to the bottom of his body the
extremities in the lower part of his
body the back of his uh uh body would
have been dark bluish
purplish color
uh the enzymes in his stomach would have
already started to eat out
through the bowels
to help the decomposition
break down
so when jesus said lazarus’s name
he wasn’t just talking to lazarus
he was talking to every enzyme
every bug
every parasite
that had started to decompose his body
and when he said lazarus what he was
saying to everything else was put him
back
[Music]
i don’t know who needed to hear that but
when god calls your name he means to put
you back together again in the same way
he intended you to be
before the death even happened to you he
literally says put
him
back
because i’m bringing him out put her
back
[Music]
because i’m bringing her out put him
back
the way that i made him to be put him
back
prior to the rape put him back prior to
the molestation put him back prior to
the abuse put him back
prior to the negative words being
exposed put
him
back
lazarus was dead
and jesus called him
where’d he do that at
i have two kids nathan and noah
and when i call them
i call them
because they’re alive
and they can hear me
and it’s because they are living
that they can hear me and respond
jesus calls
a dead man
which explains why he said he was asleep
because if something’s truly dead you
can’t call it
because it can’t hear you
lazarus was no longer in his body
but he was somewhere
[Music]
and wherever lazarus was
when jesus called him
he hurt him
[Music]
and came back to the body
that god had put him in
then he woke up
but it’s how he woke up
can you imagine
being dead
wrapped up from head to toe
with a cloth tied around your face
whoever put you here
never expected
for you to get up
[Applause]
i don’t know who that is for but there’s
some people
that have tied you up
and put you away
thinking that you are never going to get
out of that situation you are never
coming out of this circumstance you are
never coming out of this issue you are
never going to get over that trauma you
are never coming out of that pain so you
are tied up
and lazarus
wakes up
bound up
i don’t know who this is for but but but
this should encourage somebody in tc
nation that god doesn’t need you to have
it all together when he gets ready to
call you he will call you tied up he
will call you wrapped up he will call
you bound up he called him he caught him
he called him he caught him he called up
he got him he said
[Music]
lazarus
come out
lazarus
[Music]
because trying to come out bound is
tough you know
[Applause]
i heard him call me but i i can’t even
see
i heard him call me but i’m so tied up
in my situation that i don’t even know
which way to go i i i i can’t walk by
sight right now uh i’m gonna have to
walk by faith because hearing
[Music]
is for the faithful
he
when you’re tied up and jesus calls you
how do you get up the best way you can
he just
[Music]
eh
[Music]
[Applause]
he couldn’t walk out of his situation
he couldn’t walk out of his bondage
he couldn’t walk out of his pain
he couldn’t walk out of his dead place
so he just did the best he can
i’m here to tell somebody if you can’t
walk out hop out if you can’t hop out
crawl out if you can’t crawl out slide
out whatever you got to do to get to the
master’s voice just
[Music]
[Applause]
he hopped his way
to jesus
[Music]
still tied up
still wrapped up
still can’t see
don’t know what who’s around him all he
knows is i i i came to the voice that
called me
and it gets to the voice
which brings me to point number five
[Music]
before i tell you point number five
can we just
marinate on the fact right now
that jesus
has only done
up to this point
what they can’t do
[Music]
i’m not going to locate them
you don’t want to bury them
i’m not rolling away the stone you don’t
want to put it there
the only thing i’m showing up to do
is the one thing you can
and that’s resurrect
so he calls him
he don’t even go into the tomb to help
him out he stays right oh thank you holy
spirit he stays right where he is i need
to tell somebody god is always calling
you out of something he doesn’t get into
your life to keep you where you are he
always comes in and then takes a step
back and says come on baby come on come
on this way come on this way i’m leading
you out of darkness i’m leading you out
of bondage i’m leading you out of
temptation i may have showed up
where you were
but it’s never to keep you
where you
are so lazarus sitting there
standing there rather
and then jesus says this it almost
sounds so flippant
lose him and let him go
[Music]
jesus
this was the stinkiest situation we have
ever been through in our life
you don’t want to call them out
and you’re not going to even
untie him
here’s jesus i didn’t tie him up
[Music]
so i’m not going to untie him
here’s what i believe this is not in the
text it’s just i hope the theologians
don’t get mad at me i but but i don’t
believe the people that tied them up are
the same people that untied them
there’s some people that you got into
some situations with yeah yeah yeah yeah
they were responsible for tying you up
in some stuff
but god’s gonna send you a different set
of people
to help untie you
from some situations that you’ve been in
and here is what jesus is saying it is
so strongly implied that if you don’t
get it i’m so sorry for you
jesus is saying that um you’ll never
experience freedom
hear me
outside of community
oh i hope y’all get that
you will never experience freedom
outside of resurrection you can
experience that with nobody else around
yeah
but freedom
i’mma leave you in community
to experience
that because i can never let you have so
much pride that you walk around saying
god got me out of everything
and i don’t need nobody all i need is me
and jesus
no no jesus left
lazarus bound
and ask the community
[Music]
you gave your life to jesus
but in community you get untied
from a promiscuous lifestyle
you gave your life to jesus but in
community you start drinking you know
some some lacroix instead of sorak you
you gave your life to jesus
but in community you you stop hanging
with people that that produced
negativity in you and start hanging with
people that produce spirituality in you
he he leaves you in community
so that they can untie you
for you to be the best version
of who you’re supposed to be i i i
i felt this so strongly in my spirit
that that today is a day
for you to come out
and and
i felt this churchy thing on me
and i thought i was about to be
preaching and running around and i
realize now that ain’t what this was
about
the church of jesus christ it just done
to me right this minute
this is how basic i am i don’t know
stuff sometimes until it just happens
the church is called the ecclesia
the called out
ones
[Music]
when i when i was feeling churchy the
lord just reminded me
that wasn’t it
not the church that you experienced the
church that i made
i’m calling people out
from dead places i’m calling people out
from dead relationships i’m calling
people out
from dead thinking i’m calling people
out
from dead behavior i am calling
people
out lazarus
[Music]
come out of your pain
lazarus come out of your bondage lazarus
come out of that dead place lazarus
[Music]
come out
so here’s the way i’m going in this
message
calling
anyone in a dead
place out
[Music]
no hype
no drama
no exaggeration
if this is your message
[Music]
come out
from wherever you are
come
out
[Music]
this is your time
[Music]
right here right now
to come out
of bondage
to come
out
of manipulation and to control and
control to come out from low self-esteem
to come out
from destructive behavior to come
out
from cynicism to come out of negativity
lazarus
come
[Music]
on i love these babies
my best co-signers
would you bow your heads and close your
eyes
all over this room and in tc nation
if this was your message i just want you
to stand i just want you to stand
i just want you to stand thank you thank
you thank you thank you thank you thank
you
thank you
thank you
[Music]
so first thing lazarus had to do was
stand
he couldn’t come out until he stood
i don’t believe the the hardest part was
getting to his feet
i believe the hardest part was taking a
step forward
to move out of the position he was in
into a place
where the community
could help him
get untied from the things that he was
wrapped up in
and so if that’s you
i just want you to come forward
you you stood up but i need you to take
a step forward i don’t know where that
is in this room but wherever you are
just step
towards
the place where he
through his community
can untie you
untether
you unwrap you
loose you
and let you go
this is
the churchiness that i felt in my heart
it is
the
ecclesiastical called out church of
jesus christ we step
out of dead places
into
life
[Music]
come on come on from wherever you are
from wherever you are i feel it
and my heart is so sweet oh it’s so
sweet i love you jesus you are amazing
let me tell you what i love about
lazarus coming to the front
stepping in front of all those people
jesus said loose him and let him go and
nobody said but he
stinks he smells like four days of death
can we get him a shower first nobody
said that
they just started unleashing there was
no judgment
his breath
is death literally
nobody had any negative comments
he was in a safe space
around safe people
so even though he was thinking
he was around some people that wasn’t
and they helped them get to the place
where they needed to be
if you read through chapter number 11
all the way to chapter number 12 the
next place we find lazarus is sitting
down next to jesus having dinner
if this ain’t life i don’t know what is
[Music]
chapter 11 lazarus is dead
chapter 12 lazarus is at dinner
i need to tell at least 50 people in
here you’re about to dine with jesus
you’re about to sit down with the king
from a table that you never have to get
up from as long
as you live
[Music]
[Applause]
listen
this is a coming out party
[Music]
if this ain’t if this ain’t a fun day i
don’t know what kind of fun day you need
to have this is a coming what better way
to come out
than to come out to meet him
so beautiful jesus thank you
[Music]
thank you for bringing us out
of bondage thank you for bringing us out
of pain thank you for bringing us out of
abuse thank you for bringing
us
[Music]
out i got a couple of minutes left let
me just share with you very quickly
when i was eight years old i was
sexually abused by a neighbor that lived
across the street from me a teenage boy
for about six months
and i don’t think i need to explain how
much that tied me up
my teenage years were filled with
pornography promiscuity low self-esteem
low self-worth
and at 20 years
old sitting in the back of a church
while i was wrapped up and tied up in
all of my stuff
real soft real soft the holy spirit said
come out
there wasn’t a sermon that was preached
there wasn’t an altar call given
church service had just started the holy
spirit said come
out
i had a porn stash under my bed this is
late 90s this is before phones
y’all don’t even know what a porn stash
is you just
you just know the site
we had books
i had a porn stash under my bed
and i told the holy spirit i had never
heard him he had never spoken to me
before that i heard in my life and i
said i got to go home and clean that up
first
like i feel convicted of my sins i want
to give my life to you but i got to go
get some stuff straight
and then i’ll come back and give my life
to you and he said as clear as i’m
talking to y’all now he said tim
if you don’t walk out of here with me
you will not go home and do what you
want to do
you have never been able to do
what you wanted to do with your own
power
you still like porn i don’t
[Music]
so you better take me home with you or
you won’t have anybody to convict you
to do the right thing
in that day i received jesus
and the holy spirit and from that day to
this the last 26 years
i’ve been out of the tomb
[Applause]
i think somebody needed to hear that
because you need to understand that when
you’ve been walking around with grave
clothes for a long time
it feels weird when you don’t have them
on normal
you could be sitting at the table with
jesus
and the grave could be calling you
and it feels so tempting to lay down
in a place where he’s told you to stand
up
but i want you to know
empowered by the holy spirit
you can do exceedingly and abundantly
above all that you can ask or think
according to the power that works on the
inside of
you let me pray for you real quick who’s
coming after me
who’s
is anybody coming after me oh it’s just
me oh charles
let me pray
[Music]
tc nation
let me highlight you real quick
[Music]
if you’ve tuned in this long i need you
to know
he wants you
back
to himself
there were two names last night before i
went to bed that he told me to say and i
know this sounds weird but i’m gonna say
it anyway
tawanna
and tawanda
those are the two names he gave me last
night i don’t know where you are in the
whole wide world
but there was a
tiwana and a tawanda
that he told me last night to tell you
to come
out
he has a purpose and a plan for your
whole
life i couldn’t even go to bed your
names i don’t even know who y’all are
so wherever there’s a tiwana and a tawan
duh specifically those two names
they close but they’re different
i don’t know if y’all twins or sisters
or cousins i don’t know who y’all are
it’s time to come back
to the one that made you and the one
that has saved you
father god
i thank you
that you have given us the opportunity
to come out of the grave
to come out of the tomb
to come out from amongst dead things
god i thank you for every lazarus
represented
at this altar for every lazarus that
came out
in the chat god i thank you that you are
going to take us from where we are to
the place that you want us to be lord
god i come against every spiritual
attack of the enemy that would try to
block and hinder what you have started
on this day and i pray right now in
jesus name that empowered by the holy
spirit that you would allow us to be led
by your voice
to the dinner table
to dine with you
let it all be for your glory and none of
our credit
in jesus name we pray
everybody that loved him said amen
you
